Welcome To The Pleasuredome (2025 Reissue)

This extensive collection gives an unprecedented insight into how Frankie Goes to Hollywood shaped their debut album with Trevor Horn producing. The discs are housed in a slip-sleeved 10” by 10” box and feature a new remastered version of the album and a collection of Demos, outtake, BBC Sessions, and unreleased material. The 7CD/1 Blu-ray Super Deluxe Edition also features a 38-page book, with a foreword by Paul Sinclair and a detailed timeline by Kevin Foakes aka DJ Food.
